He was driving down the freeway 50 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 6: in his brand new Corvette with the top down, going 51 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 6: eighty miles an hour when he saw flashing red lights 52 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 6: in his rear view mirror from a state trooper. Without 53 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 6: thinking about it, he floored it. Took it up to 54 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,839 Speaker 6: one hundred miles an hour. He heard the sirens behind him, 55 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 6: finally came to his senses and pulled over. He said, Officer, 56 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 6: I am so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. 57 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 6: The trooper said, listen, it's Friday, four o'clock. My shift 58 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 6: is over in thirty minutes. If you tell me a 59 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 6: reason why you were speeding that. 60 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 4: I've never heard before, I'll let you go. 61 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 6: The man thought about it and said, Officer, years ago, 62 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 6: my wife ran off with a state trooper, and I 63 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 6: thought you were bringing her back. The officer said, have 64 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 6: a great We can say it like you mean it. 65 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 6: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 66 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do 67 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be 68 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 69 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 70 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 71 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 6: to talk to you today about kiss it goodbye. There's 72 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 6: a lady in the scripture named Naomi. She left Bethlehem 73 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 6: with her husband and two sons because of a famine. 74 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 6: They moved to the city of Moab. They had plenty 75 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 6: of food. Life was good until her husband unexpectedly died. 76 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 6: She never dreamed she'd be a widow. Ten years later, 77 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 6: both of her grown sons passed away, and she was 78 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 6: so discouraged she decided to move back home to Bethlehem. 79 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 6: She told her two daughters in law, Ruth and Orpah, 80 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 6: that they should moved back to their hometowns as well 81 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 6: and start a new life. Ruth said, no, Naomi, I'm 82 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 6: staying with you. I'm going to Bethlehem to help take 83 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 6: care of you. The other daughter in law, Orpah, took 84 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 6: her advice and said she was going to leave and 85 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 6: move back home. You would think Naomi would have been 86 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 6: a little sour and thought, after all I've done for you, Orpah, 87 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 6: you're going to leave me now. 88 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 4: At my lowest moment. 89 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 6: You can go get remarried, you can find another job. 90 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 6: I'm an old lady who's going to take care of me. 91 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 6: She could have felt betrayed insulted. Instead, the scripture says 92 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 6: Naomi kissed Orpa goodbye. Orpah represented the broken dreams, the hurts, 93 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 6: the disappointments, the things she didn't understand. Naomi was saying 94 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 6: by that kiss, life has thrown me a curve. It 95 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 6: hasn't been fair, but I'm at peace. 96 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 4: I know God is still in control. 97 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 6: And if you're going to reach your destiny, you have 98 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 6: to learn to kiss things goodbye. You're not going to 99 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 6: understand everything that happens. People may walk away, life may 100 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 6: not turn out the way you thought. It's easy to 101 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 6: get bitter, hold a grudge, lose your passion, or do 102 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 6: like Naomi, kiss the bitterness goodbye. Kiss the person that 103 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 6: left you goodbye. Kiss the dream that didn't work out goodbye. 104 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 6: God wouldn't have allowed it to happen if he didn't have. 105 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 4: Something better up in front of you. 106 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 6: But sometimes God will close the door. He'll move people 107 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 6: out of your life. There are people and opportunities that 108 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 6: were ordained for your past that are not ordained for 109 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 6: your future. 110 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 4: They were right for a season, but that season can 111 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 4: come to an end. 112 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 6: The key is how we handle the closed doors, how 113 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 6: you handle the disappointments, how you handle. 114 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 4: The people that did you wrong. 115 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 6: Sometimes instead of kissing them goodbye, we smacked them goodbye, 116 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 6: good riddance. I didn't like you in the first place. 117 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,239 Speaker 6: Don't let the door hit you on the way out. 118 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 6: Naomi could have turned away angry, thought I'm not going 119 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 6: to kiss you. Orpah, some friends you are. That would 120 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 6: have kept her from the new things God had in store. 121 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 6: She moved back to Bethlehem with her daughter in law, Ruth. 122 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 6: Ruth married Boaz, a wealthy man that owned all the land. 123 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 4: They had a baby. Naomi took care of their son 124 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 4: like he was her own. 125 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 6: After all, she had been through, all the broken dreams, 126 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 6: all the loss. While holding the little baby, Naomi said, 127 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 6: in effect, I never dreamed I could be this happy, 128 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 6: this fulfilled. Her latter days were better than her former days. 129 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 6: God knows how to give you beauty for ashes. He 130 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 6: knows how to turn mourning into dancing. But it never 131 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 6: happened if she had not kissed or Pa goodbye. Are 132 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 6: you at peace with your past or are you bitter 133 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 6: over the loss? 134 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 4: Upset because your plans didn't work out. 135 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 6: Holding a grudge because that person walked away. It's time 136 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 6: to kiss some things goodbye. Don't bring bitterness into a 137 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 6: new year. Don't bring self pity. A chip on your 138 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 6: shoulder that was in your past. It doesn't belong in 139 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 6: the future. You cannot embrace the new things God has 140 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 6: in store as long as you're holding on to the old. 141 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 4: My father went to be with. 142 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 6: The Lord back in nineteen ninety nine, some twenty years ago, 143 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 6: I lost one. 144 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 4: Of my best friends. 145 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 6: I still miss him, but I realized the loss of 146 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 6: my father is in my past. 147 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 4: It's not in my future. 148 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 6: If I would have brought all the hurt, the questions, 149 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 6: the self pity, I wouldn't be where I am. You 150 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 6: won't have the strength to move forward if you're over 151 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 6: what's behind. Takes a lot of energy to think about 152 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 6: the past, relive the hurts, wonder why it didn't work out. 153 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 6: That person you lost, If they were supposed to be here, 154 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 6: they would still be here. If somebody left you, I 155 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 6: say it respectfully, you. 156 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 4: Don't need them. 157 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 6: If it didn't work out the way you had planned, 158 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 6: it wasn't supposed to. God's ways are not our ways. 159 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 6: Will you trust him when it doesn't make sense. Start 160 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 6: kissing things goodbye. You spent enough energy on the past 161 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 6: that doesn't take you anywhere. Kiss that disappointment goodbye. That 162 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 6: door didn't close by accident. God is directing your steps. 163 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 6: It was either not the right time or because he 164 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 6: has something better. A friend of mine owned a very 165 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,119 Speaker 6: successful business. 166 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 4: For years. 167 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 6: He was a leader in his field and saw all 168 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 6: kinds of growth and increase. He had big dreams to 169 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 6: leave his company to his children to continue the legacy. 170 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 6: After twenty five years, things started to slow down. The 171 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 6: competition around him increased, so he started working harder, going 172 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 6: in earlier. 173 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,239 Speaker 4: I would call him and he was meeting. 174 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 6: With staff at six in the morning. He was determined 175 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 6: to make it work. He did everything he possibly could. 176 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 6: But God is called the Alpha and the omega, the 177 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 6: beginning and the end. We get excited about the beginning, 178 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 6: talk a lot about God doing a new thing, but 179 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 6: we don't hear a lot about the omega the end. 180 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 6: But just as God opens doors, sometimes God will close 181 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 6: the door. 182 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 4: He'll bring things to an end. 183 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 6: And this can be hard for us because it feels 184 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 6: like a setback, and after all the hard work. 185 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 4: My friend's company didn't make it. 186 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 6: He was so discouraged for several months he would hardly 187 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 6: talk on the phone. 188 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 4: He told me how he felt like a failure. 189 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 6: He had all these plans, but it didn't work out 190 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 6: the way he thought. Now I told him what I'm 191 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 6: telling you. The best thing you can do is just 192 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 6: kiss it goodbye. Don't bring a failure from yesterday into today. 193 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 6: If one dream dies, get back up and dream another dream. 194 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 4: He got his. 195 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 6: Passion back and went out and started a consulting business. 196 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 4: All kinds of doors begin to open. 197 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 6: Today he has more clients, more influence, more opportunities than 198 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 6: he's ever had. His new company is many times more 199 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 6: successful than his own. When life doesn't turn out the 200 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 6: way you thought, remind yourself God is still in control, 201 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 6: and instead of being sour losing your joy, kiss the 202 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,119 Speaker 6: disappointment goodbye. 203 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 4: Quit reliving mistakes. 204 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 6: You've made, things that you wish you would have done different, 205 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 6: wondering why it didn't work out. Like my friend, you 206 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 6: may have done your best, given it your all, but 207 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 6: it didn't succeed. Accept it as God's plan and move on. 208 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 6: Our attitude should be God, I trust you, not just 209 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 6: with my successes. I trust you with my failures. I 210 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 6: trust you with the betrayals. I trust you with. 211 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 4: The things that don't make sense. 212 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 6: When you kiss the past goodbye, it releases you into 213 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 6: your future. 214 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 4: You have to be at peace with what's behind you. 215 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 6: It's not enough to just move forward, angry, bitter, mad 216 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 6: at God. That's why Naomi kissed Orpah. It was symbolizing 217 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 6: this is painful. 218 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 4: I don't like it. I feel betrayed, but I'm at peace. 219 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 6: Takes maturity to kiss things that don't feel good. This 220 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 6: is what the prophet Samuel had to do. He spent 221 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 6: years mentoring a young man named Saul. He took him 222 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 6: under his wing, and he trained him to become the 223 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 6: next king of Israel. You can imagine how proud Samuel 224 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 6: was when he saw this young man, now grown and 225 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 6: leading the Israelites. Everyone looked up to King Saul. He 226 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 6: was tall and handsome, he looked like a king. But 227 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 6: over time Saul got off course. 228 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 4: He made poor decisions. 229 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 6: He eventually lost the throne. Samuel was so disappointed. He thought, God, 230 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 6: I put all this time and energy into him. I've 231 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 6: invested my life, and it seems like it was all 232 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 6: a big waste. 233 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 4: You would think. 234 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 6: God would say, I understand Samuel, too bad it didn't 235 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 6: work out, But God didn't let him feel sorry for himself. 236 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 6: He said, Samuel, how long are you going to mourn over? 237 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 4: Saul? 238 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 6: God is asking us, how long are you going to 239 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 6: mourn over what you've lost? How long are you going 240 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 6: to be discouraged over who hurts you and what you 241 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 6: didn't get and the boss that wasn't fair. I don't 242 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 6: believe in giving people the right to feel sorry for themselves, 243 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 6: not because they don't have a good reason. Some people 244 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 6: have gone through things that nobody should have to go through. 245 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 6: But I've learned if you stay in self pity with 246 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 6: a chip on your shoulder, thinking you have a reason 247 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 6: to live defeated, you will never see the vindication, the restoration, 248 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 6: the promotion, the favor that belongs to you. God wants 249 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 6: to pay you. 250 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 4: Back for what was unfair. Don't sit around in self pity. 251 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 6: Kiss the bad break, Goodbye, kiss the unfair childhood, Goodbye, 252 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 6: kiss that injustice. 253 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 4: Goodbye. 254 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 6: God told Samuel, fill your horn with oil. I am 255 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 6: sending you to the house of Jesse. I have chosen 256 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 6: one of his sons as the next king. God was 257 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 6: saying Samuel. If you'll kiss this disappointment goodbye and start 258 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 6: moving forward, I'll show you the new King. One of 259 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 6: your dreams may have died, that did stop God's plan. 260 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 4: He has another dream. 261 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 6: One relationship may not have worked out. If you'll kiss 262 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 6: goodbye the old, God will show you the new. David 263 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 6: went on to become the greatest king that ever lived. 264 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 6: When God makes up for what you lost, it's not 265 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 6: going to be less than. 266 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 4: It's not going to be equal. It's going to be better. 267 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 6: Just because it hasn't turned out the way you thought 268 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 6: doesn't mean you have to settle for second best. God 269 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 6: has to come up with a plan be God already 270 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 6: knew what would happen. He knew every door that would close, 271 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 6: he knew every person that would walk away. 272 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 4: He knew how you'd spend time and energy. But a 273 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 4: dream not come to pass. 274 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 6: All that is getting you prepared for where God has 275 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 6: taken you. 276 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 4: Now. 277 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 6: Don't get stuck mourning over Saul, disappointed over a bad break, 278 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 6: bitter because of a loss, Kiss it goodbye, Move forward. 279 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 4: And you will see your David's You will see more 280 00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 4: than you can ask or think. 281 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 6: When we were trying to buy property to build a 282 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 6: new sanctuary. Twice the land we found was sold out 283 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 6: from under us. We had an appointment at eight o'clock 284 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 6: in the morning to close on the first property. We 285 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 6: showed up at seven forty five. The secretary walked out 286 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 6: and said, I'm sorry, the owner sold the property last night. 287 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 4: I couldn't believe that he didn't keep his word. 288 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 6: I went home so disappointed, and I told Victoria what 289 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 6: happened and how we didn't have the property, and how 290 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 6: we'd never be able to build, how we were stuck, 291 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 6: how we couldn't keep growing. I had a sad song, 292 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 6: and I thought I was convincing. She looked at me 293 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 6: and said, Joel, God is still on the throne. 294 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 4: This is not a surprise to him. 295 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 6: We are going to stay in faith and believe something 296 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 6: better is coming. 297 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 4: I didn't want to hear that. 298 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 6: I wanted to feel sorry for myself. The flesh likes 299 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 6: to have a pity party. She was telling me what 300 00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 6: I'm telling you, kiss. 301 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 4: It goodbye forward. 302 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 6: When things happen like that that you don't understand, you 303 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 6: can be sure God is up to something. He is 304 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 6: working behind the scenes. 305 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 5: Now. 306 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 4: I came back to a place of peace. I knew. 307 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 6: If God wanted us to have that property, no person 308 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 6: could have stopped us. And just the opposite, If God 309 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 6: doesn't want us to have something, all of our efforts won't. 310 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 4: Make it happen. He's the Alpha and the Omega. 311 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 6: He knows how to not only open doors that no 312 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 6: man can shut, he knows how to close doors that 313 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 6: no man can open. 314 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 4: Are you upset over a door? God closed people? 315 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 6: He moved out of your life, a dream he didn't 316 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 6: let come to pass. Yet six months later we received 317 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 6: word that the Compact Center was coming available. Right then 318 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 6: I knew why those doors closed. Buying property would have 319 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 6: been second best. That would have been keeping solved. Center 320 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 6: is David more than we can imagine. I'm asking you 321 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 6: to be at peace with your past, Peace with things 322 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 6: you don't understand. 323 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 4: Not bitter, not angry, not with a chip on your shoulder. 324 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 6: Maybe you didn't have a good childhood. Nobody was there 325 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 6: to speak faith into you. God knew how you would 326 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 6: be raised. That's not going to keep you from your destiny. 327 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 6: It's leading you to your destiny. Kiss it goodbye and 328 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 6: move forward. You can't become who you were created to 329 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 6: be with a chip on your shoulder, thinking that you're 330 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 6: at a disadvantage. 331 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 4: If you'll take the hand you've been dealt and make the. 332 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 6: Most of it, God will open doors you couldn't open. 333 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 6: His favor on your life will take you where you 334 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 6: couldn't go on your own. Why don't you kiss the 335 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 6: self pity goodbye, Kiss that condescending spirit, goodbye, Kiss always 336 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 6: having to be right? 337 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 4: Goodbye. 338 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 6: Don't bring a bad ass attitude into a new year 339 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 6: being sarcastic. 340 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 4: Some people can. 341 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 6: Wear designer clothes, put on makeup, have nice hair. They 342 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 6: look great on the outside. The problem is none of 343 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 6: that can cover up what's on the inside. 344 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 4: If we would work half. 345 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 6: As much on the inside as we do the outside, 346 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 6: we'd be much better off. But if you don't kiss 347 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 6: a bad attitude goodbye, the problem is you'll be at 348 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 6: the same place next year as you are right now. 349 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 6: And sometimes we're waiting for God to change things.

You shouldn't let 402 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 6: that get down in your spirit. Well, Joe, I'm praying 403 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 6: that these people at work will quit talking about me. 404 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 6: I don't want to discourage you, but they may never 405 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 6: quit talking about you. They are jealous of the favor 406 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 6: and blessing on your life. Take it as a compliment. 407 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 6: They don't talk about average people. They talk about acception people. 408 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 6: They don't talk about people that aren't doing anything. They 409 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 6: talk about people that are taking new ground, people that 410 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 6: are making. 411 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 4: A difference, people that stand out. 412 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 6: It's a test God is seeing if you're ready to 413 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 6: go to the next level. Are you going to get 414 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 6: upset start thinking about how you're going to pay them back, 415 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 6: or are you going to kiss it goodbye and keep 416 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 6: running your race, enjoying your life. Those adversaries are getting 417 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 6: you prepared for your destiny. Where you're going, there will 418 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 6: be opposition, critics, people trying to pull you down.

The forces that. 421 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,719 Speaker 6: Are for you are greater than the forces that are 422 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 6: against you. Stay on the high road and stay focused 423 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 6: on what God has put in your heart. You don't 424 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 6: have time to get distracted by all the negative chatter. 425 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 4: What people think about you is none of your business. 426 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 6: What they're saying shouldn't concern you. There'll always be somebody 427 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 6: that doesn't like you. 428 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 4: Kiss it goodbye and keep moving forward. 429 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 6: Now, there may be some relationships you need to kiss goodbye. 430 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 6: And I'm not talking about your husband or your wife. 431 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 6: Somebody just thought they got their word for twenty nineteen. 432 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 6: Your time is too valuable to spend it with peace stealers, 433 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 6: people that try to get you all riled up, or 434 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 6: with dream killers, people that tell you what you can't become, 435 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 6: or with compromisers, people that cause you to give in 436 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 6: to temptation. 437 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 4: Joel, I've had this friend a long time. 438 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 6: If I don't hang out with them, they may get upset. 439 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 6: What you're unwilling to walk away from is where you'll 440 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 6: get stuck. If you don't kiss the wrong people goodbye, 441 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 6: you'll never meet the right people. And if someone is 442 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 6: not adding value to your life, making you better, pushing 443 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 6: you toward your destiny, you need to make a change 444 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 6: and sometimes it's just a new season. The friends you 445 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 6: had five years ago may not be the friends you 446 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 6: need now. Everybody can't go where you're going. It doesn't 447 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 6: mean they're not good people. You've just outgrown them. You're 448 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 6: going at a faster pace. If you continue hanging around them, 449 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 6: it will limit your growth. You need to gradually spend 450 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 6: less and less time with them. Naomi's daughter in law, Orpa, 451 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 6: she was a good person. Naomi loved her. They had 452 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 6: spent years together. But Naomi recognized ORPA's part in her 453 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 6: story was over. She didn't try to talk her into stay. 454 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 6: If someone is supposed to be in your life, you 455 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 6: can't make them leave. And if someone leaves easily, they're 456 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 6: not supposed to be there. Quit trying to talk people 457 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 6: into staying. You don't have to convince anyone to love you, 458 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 6: to call you, to come see you. You are a gift, 459 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 6: You are a prize, You have something amazing to offer. 460 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 6: If they don't want to be there, that's a sure 461 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 6: sign they're not supposed to be there. God has people 462 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 6: already ordained that you can't make leave people that want 463 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 6: to celebrate you, people that love spending time with you. 464 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 4: If somebody wants to leave. Let them leave. 465 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 6: Your destiny is not tied to the people that walked away. 466 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 6: Be respectful, but kissed the orphers goodbye. God told Abraham 467 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 6: to leave his relatives and move to a different city. 468 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 6: I'm sure he loved his relatives. For a season, everything 469 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 6: was fine. But when God was about to promote Abraham 470 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 6: and do something big in his life, he knew his 471 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 6: relatives and the people where he lived wouldn't be able 472 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 6: to handle it. The people closest to you may not 473 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 6: see the greatness in you when they're familiar. They can 474 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 6: dis miss you as just being ordinary. And sometimes you 475 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 6: have to kiss people goodbye so you can become all 476 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 6: you were created to be. 477 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 4: This is what my father had to do at seventeen. 478 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 6: He knew he had more in him, but his parents 479 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 6: told him to just stay on the farm and pick 480 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 6: cotton with them the rest of his life. And they 481 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 6: loved my father. They were trying to protect him, but 482 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 6: they couldn't. 483 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 4: See his seeds of greatness. 484 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 6: They didn't see a man that would touch nations. They 485 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 6: just saw their son, nothing special, He just one of us. 486 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 6: My father very respectfully kissed them goodbye and went out 487 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 6: and started ministering, God opened amazing doors, and he went 488 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 6: on to leave his mark. Don't let people talk you 489 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 6: out of what God put in your heart. When you 490 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 6: come to the end of life, you're not going to 491 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 6: have to stand before people and give an account. 492 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 4: You're going to stand before God. 493 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 6: And I would rather disappoint people than disappoint God. I 494 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 6: would rather hurt a few feelings than to miss my destiny. 495 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 4: Is there something you need to kiss goodbye? 496 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 6: A hurt, a bad attitude, an area that you're compromising in. 497 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 6: Don't bring it into a new year. That's in your past. 498 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 6: Does it belong in your future? The apostle Paul said, 499 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 6: forgetting what lies behind, I press to the high calling. 500 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 6: If there's a high calling, that means there's a low calling. 501 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 6: You can go through life holding onto hurts, wrong attitudes 502 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 6: with people that are not good for you, but that 503 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 6: will keep you from new levels, from the high calling 504 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 6: that belongs to you.
